Build-A-Bike

Friday April 24, 2009

Dr. Tradd Harter & Classic City Orthodontics, along with several other Orthodontic Practices from the Athens area, teamed up to build 10 bikes for local children in need. The bikes were built at Bishop Park in Athens, GA. They enlisted the services of Quixote Consulting, who are veterans in leading bike-building events.

The 11:30 event started with lunch for all followed by a few ice-breakers lead by Rob from Quixote. Team members had to answer questions correctly to earn tokens. Those tokens "bought" them a bike to build. After the bike was built, it had to be tested out on the obstacle course, then decorated. Teams showed off their decorating skills and were invited to create a live commercial about the bikes they built. the afternoon was very fun and engaging. At 3:00, four of the bike recipients surprised the builders by showing up in-person to receive their bike.

Monsignor Donovan Prom

Saturday April 18, 2009

Monsignor Donovan Catholic High School held their 2009 Junior/Senior Prom at The Classic Center, Olympia Room. The Prom theme was A Night in Hollywood/Oscars. The room was divided into 2 sections: 1 section featured movie posters, life-sized cardboard replicas of movie starts and tables for sitting and talking. The other section was a dedicated dance-floor.
Dancing kicked off with this year's Oscar winning song, Jai-Ho. After hours of dancing, "Oscars" were awarded and the King & Queen were named. The night was a blast! Enjoy the pictures.

5K Human Race

Saturday April 18, 2009

The annual 5K Human Race, "The Race is Never Over", was a big success. Before the race, runners enjoyed an eclectic mix of music while they stretched and prepared to run. The winner of the race came in under 16 minutes. That is quite impressive. The race coordinators handed out awards and door prizes to many of the runners. Enjoy the pictures below!

Kim & Matt

Saturday, April 11, 2009

Kim & Matt Porter held their ceremony and reception at the Thompson House & Gardens in Bogart, GA.

The ceremony started at 5:00 and the weather couldn't have been more perfect (A beautiful 75 degrees and a light breeze). We ran the sound wirelessly for the ceremony to avoid laying wires and cables across walkways.

The reception began immediately, as guests walked to the rear of the house where a delicious buffet was awaiting them. I was setup indoors, but setup two speakers outdoors, so guests could enjoy music wherever they chose to eat. Kim & Matt ate upstairs in the house. The Grand Entrance could not have been more fun and unique! The newlyweds chose a special song to introduce each member of their wedding party. I think guests could tell that this was going to be a fun reception!

Open dancing was a blast. We started out pretty traditional, but ended up dancing the night away to mostly hip hop and dance music, with a few 80's tunes thrown in.
I have to say that this reception was truly a Blast! Thanks for the fantastic time and the great memories! Enjoy the pictures below.

Easter Carnival

Saturday, April 11, 2009

The Catholic Center @ the University of Georgia held their annual Easter Carnival and Easter Egg Hunt from 9am-11am in the church parking lot. Kids under 10 could get their face painted, decorate flower pots, make candy carrots, make a bunny-ear headband, play games and jump around in the inflatable ball pit. At 10:45 we had the ever-popular "Chicken Dance" and at 11:00 we started the Easter Egg Hunt. I played music from and for every generation that was present, ranging from Chubby Checker to the Jonas Brothers. Enjoy the Pictures!

Canival Fun!

Relay Dance

Friday, April 3, 2009

Whit Davis Elementary, a perennial leader in the relay for life fundraising effort, held a dance for 3rd-5th grade students. 150+ students from the school came out to have a great time. Students were able to purchase snow cones, pizza, drinks and candy to help raise money for cancer. For the entire 90 minute dance, the party was ON! Lots of interactive dances, different styles of music and tons of fun. Of course, all the music was age-appropriate. The biggest hits of the evening were the 7:00 "Stanky-Leg" contest, which ended in a three-way tie and the last song, Soulja Boy's "Turn My Swag On". Pictures are on their way!
